Goodman is immersed in numerous roles in both film and television, and it’ll continue to be so for a long while.
John Goodman was up to 440 pounds
Thus, Goodman has lost approximately 198 pounds through the Mediterranean diet, boxing, and daily walks with his dogs, a series of healthy habits that have caused a shocking physical change in the actor. In 2007, the actor decided to turn his health around when he reached 440 pounds in weight: “It was time to do something. I wasn’t living, I just existed.”, he assured back then in an interview.
So much so, that the actor placed himself under the orders of Mackie Shilstone, a famous personal trainer who has worked with other entertainment and sports stars, through which they established three basic rules: elimination of alcohol and sugar, a plan of exercise for six days a week and the adoption of a sustained healthy life in time. And the results did not take long to arrive, since three years later there was already lost almost 98 pounds.
Now, after adopting this new healthy lifestyle, Goodman has gained almost half his body weight showing an image that has nothing to do with the John Goodman that we all have in mind: “What really changed my life was discovering boxing. It is therapeutic, it helps you focus and stay strong, both physically and emotionally,” the actor recently stated.
Currently, John Goodman is immersed in different jobs as an actor, from his role in ]’The Righteous Gemstones’ and ‘The Conners’ -and his appearance in ‘Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’ of the cinematic universe from Godzilla and Kong- to his next role in ‘Judy’ of Alejandro González Iñárritu next to Tom Cruise.
